The Jubilee Party has stepped up its preparations for the 2027 General Election after its Deputy Party Leader, Dr. Fred Matiang’i, held a consultative meeting with a section of party aspirants from Nyeri County aimed at strengthening grassroots structures and consolidating the party’s presence in the vote-rich Mt Kenya region.
The meeting, held as part of the party’s ongoing nationwide engagement with grassroots leaders and stakeholders, brought together aspiring leaders seeking various elective positions under the former ruling party ticket.
According to the party secretariat, the consultations focused on strengthening the party, deepening grassroots organisation, and fostering unity as the party seeks to reposition itself as a credible, people-centred political movement ahead of the next general election.
The meeting also provided a platform for candid discussions on the challenges facing the party and strategies for rebuilding its support base in Nyeri County, a region that has traditionally played a significant role in national politics.
Among those who attended was Nyeri gubernatorial aspirant Eng. Wangai Ndirangu, who described the engagement as productive and timely as the party intensifies its preparations for the 2027 polls.
Ndirangu said the discussions centred on building leadership that is accountable, organised and responsive to the needs of wananchi.
“As we prepare for the future, our focus must remain on ideas over politics, efficient organisation and practical solutions that improve people’s lives,” he said after the meeting.
Nyeri senatorial aspirant Nick Mararo echoed similar sentiments, saying the consultative forum underscored the importance of rebuilding the party’s grassroots structures while promoting accountable leadership.
Mararo noted that Jubilee leaders and aspirants were united in their commitment to strengthening the party’s organisation and ensuring that its agenda remains focused on delivering practical solutions to citizens.
“Our discussions centred on strengthening our grassroots structures and, more importantly, revamping our efforts toward building a leadership that remains accountable and responsive to the people,” he said.
The meeting comes at a time when Jubilee is seeking to revitalise its political fortunes after suffering significant setbacks following the 2022 General Election. The party has in recent months embarked on a series of consultations across the country aimed at reorganising its structures and reconnecting with supporters.
Political observers view the renewed engagements, particularly in the Mt Kenya region, as part of a broader strategy by the party to regain influence in one of Kenya’s most politically significant voting blocs.
Matiang’i, who has increasingly emerged as one of the key figures in Jubilee’s reorganisation efforts, has been leading consultations with party officials, aspirants and grassroots leaders across different counties as the party lays the groundwork for the 2027 elections.
Party officials maintain that the ongoing consultations are intended to strengthen internal democracy, enhance grassroots mobilisation and build a united political movement capable of offering Kenyans an alternative leadership platform.
The Nyeri meeting is expected to be followed by similar engagements in other counties as Jubilee continues its nationwide reorganisation and recruitment drive ahead of the 2027 General Election.
